Commands to control the graphic output. This command is intended for batch-mode. See also ''Viewing'' for the menu controlled functions.

• ''fill'' Element-faces are filled
• ''line'' Elements are displayed as fireframes
• ''point'' Element-edges are displayed as points
• ''edge'' triggers the display of the model edges were
• ''elem'' triggers the display of the element edges. They are deselected with the additional parameter ''off''.
• ''surf'' and ''volu'' are used to display the structure either only by it's outer skin (surf) or by drawing all elements (volu).
• ''front'' and ''back'' define which side of the structure should be drawn. Either the side which faces the user or the back-side. If the back-side is displayed then internal structures are visible.
• ''vec'' triggers the vector mode. All vector-entities like displacements are displayed with arrows pointing in the direction of the vector and with a length proportional to the value of the vector. See ''Toggle Vector-Plot'' for a detailed description of the equivalent menu-function.
• ''disp'' will show the deformed structure based on a formerly selected displacement dataset (no entity must be selected). See ''Toggle Add-Displacement'' for a detailed description of the equivalent menu-function.
• ''bg'' Without second parameter toggles the background colour. The second parameter 'w' forces white while the parameter 'k' forces black as background colour.
